[Greenville News.] San Francisco, May 17.-At 8:45 a. w., Secretary Cortelyon gave out the first official bulletin of the day announcing that Mrs. McKinley had passed a restful night and appeared improved over her condition of yes terday and last night. At intervals she was conscious and recognized her husband who has re mained constantly at her side. He is bowed wit.h sorrow and his careworn expression is noticeable to all who see him during his brief walks in Lafayette Park. He has ex pressed himself as deeply touched by the sympathy extended him From every quarter of the globe cable grams of condolence have poured in. At 11:45 a. mn. Secretary Cortelyou loft the Scott mansion in company with Secretary Hitchcock for the first airing he has had for several days. Cortlyou stated that Mrs. McKinley was holding her own and that the prospects were favor able for her continued improvement. At noon the president will 'go for a short drive. When Postmaster General Smith called on the presi dent this morning he found his coun tenance exceedingly jubilant. The president joyfully described the change in Mrs. M~cKinley's condition as a transformation. Only one slight tendency to the relapse that had been so dreaded in the early hours of the morning oc. curred. She passed safely through the crisis and awoke bright and cheerful, asked to be allowed to wash her hands and asked for food. The president expects to attend the launching tomorrow if Mrs. Mc Kinley continues to improve at the present rate. THOUGHT HERl DEAD. San Franoisco, May 17. - It was learned this morning that the physi cians at one time yesterday believed Mrs. McKinley dead during her sink ing spell and were just about to make the official announcement when a faint flntter of life deterred them. Much fear is expressed that the president will break down.

San Francisco, May 17.-Expres sions of sympathy from all over the world are pouring in on the presi dent. A gift from the Union Iron Works' employees and a beautiful silken flag with gold mounted staff which the Knight Templars intended to present to the president will be forwarded to Washington to be pro sented at a more appropriate time. Rabbi Isidore Myers recited a spe. cial prayer in Hebrew for Mrs. Mc Kinley's recovery and the Chinese "World" in its latest issue requests that this night the older of each and every Chinese family pray fervently and tenderly that Mrs. McKinley be restored to health. The "World" refers to Mrs. McKinley as the heart of the president's heart for whom he has shown (levotion which must ex cite every true hearted man's admi ration be he Christian or pagan. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought sers the ELEoTRIC EYEUtqAssEs. Which are Uaranteed to iRestoro Dimmed or D)arkeneud Vision. There comes news from Germany that Dr. Theodlor Berndt of Wiesba den has invented what may be term.ed electric eyeglasses, which are guaranteed to restore dimmed or darkened vision. The article in question takes practically the same shape as an ordinary pair of spec tacles. The frame, however, is specially constructed, being made of thin layers of copper and zinc. To produce the restorative electric current the metal aides of the spec tacles aro moistened with vinegar or some dilute acid. An electric cur rent is thus caused to flow through the eye nerves of the patient and greatly improved vision results. In the case of pine.nez the bridge over the nose is weakened with weak acid, and, as in the spec tacles, where the metal touches tho skin a moderately strong current flows to the eye nerves' There seems to be no reason why, if a suff1ciently strong current be em ployed, old, worn out and usoless nerves should not, be rejavenated.

Grand Juries Fall to Indlot-Constables Are securing Evidence Upon Which to A pply for Ipjunction Against Barrooms and Saloons. (The State.) Charleston, May 18.-The dispen saries were all closed today. The order to close issued by the State board of control was extended by all the dispensers. The beer wagons were out for a while today collecting the empty boxes and crates. The liquor trade was however not at a standstill. As was told in the State today, the proprietors of the saloons and barrooms crowded the dispensa ries yesterday and they were all pre. pared today to meet the demands of the trade. The cellars and hiding places were filled with beer and whis key and other liquors, largely gotten from the dispensaries and their stock will keep the saloons in full blast until the stock can be replenished by the orders given the local agents of foreign liquor houses. The closing of the dispensaries increased the business of the saloon but did not occasion any inconvenience to the thirsty. Chairman Arthur O'Neill of the county boai'd, said today that the dispensaries will remain closed until he received orders to open up. Hie had no statement to give out, other than this. The closing of the dispensaries has naturally excited considerable dis cussion. The taxpayers would not like to see the places kept closed be cause of the revenue tha t the dispen saries yield to the county. The hope is expressed that a satisfactory settle ment of the much muddled matter will be soon reached, that the regu lar dispensaries and additional beer dispensaries may be opened up at an early day. Tea Germania brewery has about $20,000 worth of beer on hand, which will prove a loss unless the dispensary is soon reopened. Some of the saloons -"inced the price of drinks and beer toaiay. TO ENJOIN DEALERsI. Injunctions will be issued in the next few days, restraining thirty odd proprietors and keepers of saloons and barrooms from further selling and handling liquor or engaging in any way with the liquor business.

EAT UNDER# the necessary evidence and placing the cases in the hands of the magistrate. Almost two dozen cases have already been made out and the papers are rapidly being put into shape for So licitor Hildobrand to present to the judge of this circuit court and obtain the injunction orders. The failure of the grand juries to indict the liquor :3ollors makes it nec essaary to resort to the injunction proceedings in the endeavor to check the free and open salo of liquor in Charleston. Imprisonment for con tempt seems to prove a summary and effectual method of dealing with the liquor sellers. MANY MACUINEST WILL STRIE TO DAY. They Demand Working Dlays of lino Hlours With Fay at Raite of Toni Iours -"Walk oat" will Efrect, shops from New York lo Hani Franis~o, Washington, May 19.--The strike order issued by the executive board of the International Or-dor of Machi nist goes into effect at 7 o'clock to morrow morning. President CJonnell said tonight that about 50,000 will be effected. The officers of the association ex pet that in many cases a settlement will be reached during tomorrow and that the men will return to work during the day or Tuesday morning. Word camo today that all thie firms in St. Louis, and also all those in New Orleans had grantod the do. mands of the men. Seattered reports from other cities favorable to the men also were received. The estimate now is that 35 per cent of the employ ing firms have signed. At least 25, 000 union machinists were working nine hours or less when the question was taken up by the association. The 50,000 men who will suspend work are scattered all over the coun try. The national oflicera are hope. ful that speedy settlements will be reached in most of the eastern cities, but they fear a more prolonged strug gle on the Pacific coast. The Union Iron Works at San Francisco, where the battleship Ohio is building and other large concerns are preparing to resist the demand.
